Dover International Speedway

No rain dance is being done at Dover this weekend!

This website is an online resource for NASCAR enthusiasts: welcome to our info page for Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware.

Dover International Speedway has an impressive Cup racing history. From 1969 to 1980, 21 of the 22 Cup races held there were won by drivers who either already had or would go on to win championships in NASCAR’s top series. About 3,200 seats were added to the facility in 1982. Each following year until 1998, more seats were added.

In 1995, DIS’s surface was switched to concrete, making it the first all-concrete superspeedway.

Dover hosted the first Cup race held after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001. Dale Earnhardt Jr. got the win that day and took a giant American flag on a victory lap.

“A NASCAR Foundation Track Walk is a great event for friends and family members looking for entertainment at the track between race activities. Event participants will enjoy a kick-off celebration prior to entering the track for their one lap trek. Get your group together today and get on track for charity! Track Walk participants also have the opportunity to raise funds and awareness for the charitable causes supported by The NASCAR Foundation Track Walks by using our online fundraising tools and other fundraising resources.”

RV Lot 6 and RV Lot 7 are designated for Disabled RV Parking. RV Lot 6 is filled on a first-come, first-served basis only for disabled patrons who meet the Disabled RV Parking Requirements (see below). General RV parking rules apply. Disabled customers who meet the Disabled RV Parking Requirements will have the opportunity to pre-purchase RV Lot 7. This is still a general lot, but they will pre-sell the available spots. For more information, contact the Dover International Speedway ticket office at 800-441-RACE.

RV Lot 8 is a reserved lot only. Limited spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Contact Lonnie Steele of Slicer’s Outdoor Rentals at (302) 836-4110 for availability.

RV Lot 9 and RV Lot 10 are filled on a first-come, first-served basis only. Saving spaces is prohibited. Once a RV lot is filled, another RV lot is opened. NOTE: RV Lot 10 does not appear on the facility map.

Disabled RV Parking Requirements

Spaces are first-come, first-served. All general RV parking rules apply. For access, patrons must have a handicap hang tag or license plate.

To insure that our guests with disabilities receive the opportunity to park in our RV accessible/handicap parking area (RV Lot 6 & RV Lot 7), we have enlisted assistance from law enforcement to monitor and enforce proper use of state-issued disabled parking permits at our upcoming race weekend.

Delaware law requires that the person to whom the disabled plate or hang tag was issued must be the driver, or passenger in, the vehicle bearing the plate or hang tag at the time the vehicle is parked in restricted areas (i.e. RV Lots 6 & RV Lot 7). See Section 2134 of Chapter 21 of the Delaware Code.

Before loading into RV Lot 6, patrons will be required to show their state-issued disabled parking photo identification card to verify ownership of their state-issued plate or hang tag. When purchasing a spot in RV Lot 7, patrons will be required to send a copy of their state-issued disabled parking photo identification card and state-issued hang tag or registration for state issued plate. For patrons in Delaware and other states who are not issued a disabled parking photo identification card, the police will verify the state-issued plate or hang tag number and request photo identification (such as a driver’s license) to match the name on the plate or hang tag.

Follow-up checks will be conducted throughout the event weekend to assure that spaces are being used properly. They thank you in advance for your cooperation.
